Restore your Atlantic City Home Efficiently and Effectively after Fire Damage

An unexpected fire can be a disaster for the interior of your home. However, the damages you immediately notice are not always permanent ones. New properties are built to withstand all but the most severe of fires and temperatures. The majority of harm is usually cosmetic. Finishes can melt under extreme temperatures as well as the pressure of hot smoke pushing against them. While these issues can be an inconvenience, particularly since they can limit use and access to your kitchen, the good news is that they are frequently restorable.

You may want to consider repairs yourself or reaching out to a professional fire damage restoration company here in Atlantic City. Combusting materials produce hot smoke, which can bond with surfaces in the form of soots. Vacuuming these areas can help to dislodge or remove any light soiling from surfaces. However, you should wear a respirator when performing this task to avoid ingesting any soots. Opening windows is also beneficial as it replaces indoor gases with clean outdoor air.

It quite likely that you run into some issues when dealing with fire restoration, which is why seeking expert guidance is useful. Not all materials contain the same chemicals. Therefore the type of soiling you are dealing with maybe different on certain surfaces or areas of the home. Smoke residues on your oven hood may differ from those closer to natural materials. It is essential to conduct pre-testing of materials before restoring them to avoid increasing the extent of the damage.

If you're unsure of how to administer a pre-test, SERVPRO is here to help. SERVPRO technicians undergo intensive training to gain qualifications from the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certifications (IICRC.) Our pre-tests allow us to understand what equipment or chemicals we need to get the right results. SERVPRO trucks contain air whips, air-scrubbers, oil, and water-based solvents as well as upholstery cleaning equipment. We can use this equipment to ensure your home returns to its preloss condition.
